Author: Charles Mc Raven

Item #: BK281
Price: $18.95
Beginning with a pictorial survey of stonework of every sort, and proceeding to a detailed analysis of the properties of stone of every sort, author Charles McRaven gives up the secrets gathered in some fifty years of working with stone. Throughout this book, McRaven stresses that adherence to basic principles can make the difference between a wall that will stand virtually forever and one that will soon be just a pile of rubble. By examining the building of a wide range of stonework projects, such as walls, steps, waterfalls, bridges, seats and more, the author illustrates the various technques of the master stoneworker and makes them comprehensible to those who would try their hand at this timeless craft. Whether you intend to build, or are simply interested in a nearly forgotten skilled trade, Charles McRaven's Stonework will be a worthwhile read.
